With a lot of the shows I sent requests for are closing, do you think they will start being sent out faster because they want them out or do they really not care?

please help! i've always sent letters to specific performers. i have never just sent a request for the entire cast. if i wanted like a sign playbill from the cast, who would i address it to? do i leave a message inside? and i assume i do the same old Self-addressed/stamped envelope. thanks to anyone who can help me =)

rachelbway1011 - If you are asking for a PLaybill to be signed by the entire cast, address the letter to "ATTN: The Cast of (show name)" It's always nice to send it with a message with your request and a SASE. I hope this helps. Happy New Year. :)

As I have a lot of paper memorabilia (e.g., autographed photographs, etc.), I wanted to make sure they were stored correctly in order to minimize any damage to them. I was searching the Internet to find the best place to purchase "archival" supplies (e.g., acid-free sleeves and backing) since I don't feel framing all of my memorabilia is necessary. I came across:

Bags Unlimited - http://www.bagsunlimited.com/
Crystal Clear Bags Canada - http://www.clearbags.ca/

I don't know why any of you would have, but have any of you come across these sites before? Are they reliable? Or, do you know of anywhere better that I could purchase any "archival" supplies?

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

wdwfreak - I sent to White Christmas on December 17, so should I be expecting my SASE in the mail soon? As for The Understudy, I sent to them on November 6 and I got a responce today. :/ So I'm not sure how long it will take for them to reach you since they are closing soon.

PastorErnst, there was a thread about that a few months ago you could find. I use the playbill binders from playbillstore.com. They are a bit pricey, but they keep my playbills in really nice condition and they look very nice.

EDIT: I re-read your post and realized you didn't specifically mean playbills, but in the thread I mentioned, I believe one of the websites you found was mentioned. Updated On: 1/2/10 at 07:55 PM

I would imagine that the playbill should be getting to you soon since they are closing tomorrow.

Question: If there is no other possible way to reach an actor for autographs, and there is only an agency address on their website. Do we just write :

"actors name
c/o agency address"?

Any help would be appriciated. :)

rmusic11322, you can send autograph requests directly to an actor's agency the way you mentioned. The only issue I have heard regarding this practice is that some actors have autographs pre-printed or items are not signed by the actor personally. This is the case with more popular actors who receive a large number of autograph requests/fanmail.

just wondering... can you send merchandise in to be signed? do you have to request an autographed photo? or do they usually just send one?

Hey Guys....guess what!

Today, I got two Playbills from the Toxic Avenger; one signed and one blank. But I can't figure out one signature. It's signed by the whole cast but there is a signature with a D and a circle next to it with a line going through it. IDK.

Also, I got an orange note card type peice of paper with a picture of the final cast of The Marvelous Wonderettes and it says, "xo, The Wonderettes!" And it's signed by the whole cast. :)


BwayBoundJoe - what?

Today I got Angela Lansbury Mail.
My opening night Blithe Spirit Playbill she signed.

Took about a week and a half.

[BwayBoundJoe]

Posted: 1/5/10 at 9:14pm

What did you say to her saveusmike?

[saveusmike]

Posted: 1/5/10 at 9:19pm

I sent about a page letter exclaiming how excited I was that she was back on broadway and that it was such an honor/sadness to have seen her in blithe spirit because I was so happy I would have gotten to see Angela Lansbury in her final show, yet at the same time, I was sad because it would be angela lansburys final show! :P

It was a nice letter.
tbh I was actually surpised I didnt get a "letter" back. I know she usually sends out this pre typed letter to fans when they write to her.
Oh well The playbills good enough lol

[BwayBoundJoe]

Posted: 1/5/10 at 9:35pm

Yeah, when I wrote her in blithe spirit, she sent back a pretyped letter, but included my name in it and something that actually let me know she read it (if she typed it that is) and signed it. lol, I want to write to her again but I don't know what. Do you think she'll personalize a playbill I send her for my bf If I ask her nicely?
